Stanford University linguist and MacArthur Fellow Dan Jurafsky dives into the hidden history of food.
Why do we eat toast for breakfast, and then toast to good health at dinner? What does the turkey we eat on Thanksgiving have to do with the country on the eastern Mediterranean? Can you figure out how much your dinner will cost by counting the words on the menu?
In The Language of Food, Stanford University professor and MacArthur Fellow Dan Jurafsky peels away the mysteries from the foods we think we know. Thirteen chapters evoke the joy and discovery of reading a menu dotted with the sharp-eyed annotations of a linguist.
Jurafsky points out the subtle meanings hidden in filler words like "rich" and "crispy," zeroes in on the metaphors and storytelling tropes we rely on in restaurant reviews, and charts a microuniverse of marketing language on the back of a bag of potato chips.
The fascinating journey through The Language of Food uncovers a global atlas of culinary influences. With Jurafsky's insight, words like ketchup, macaron, and even salad become living fossils that contain the patterns of early global exploration that predate our modern fusion-filled world.
From ancient recipes preserved in Sumerian song lyrics to colonial shipping routes that first connected East and West, Jurafsky paints a vibrant portrait of how our foods developed. A surprising history of culinary exchange—a sharing of ideas and culture as much as ingredients and flavors—lies just beneath the surface of our daily snacks, soups, and suppers.
Engaging and informed, Jurafsky's unique study illuminates an extraordinary network of language, history, and food. The menu is yours to enjoy.
Dan Jurafsky, a recipient of a MacArthur "Genius Grant," is professor and chair of linguistics and professor of computer science at Stanford University. He and his wife live in San Francisco.

評分ASU Noble
評分近幾年讀書越來越功利,經常不覺得閱讀是享受瞭。讀本食物與語言學的書,不僅因為好玩,也想收集些社交的談資,導緻覺得正確的閱讀姿勢是正襟危坐書桌前、下劃綫、OneNote,結果就是拖瞭好久纔開始讀。作者在前言裏說他祖母最愛一本名著,因為不喜歡裏麵的一個角色,讀一章跳一章,也是一種讀書方法。看得我莞爾。然後毫無心理壓力的隻讀瞭菜譜詞匯與定價,main course,和中國沒有甜點那三章。迴到初衷,完全沒有記筆記,但是真的蠻好玩
評分一本關於食物的冷知識大全,大概隻有資深吃貨纔會拿起這本書吧。本書專欄風,隨便挑瞭幾章,僅sex drug and sushi roll這章觸動瞭我的nerd神經,看進去瞭…
評分很喜歡!!語言學傢加資深吃貨的完美組閤!!你可以試試看Jurafsky & Martin!不亦樂乎 :)打開的菜單文化絕對是裝逼技能Get之一!!哈哈哈哈哈哈~ 裝逼利器:)
传言Emily Dickinson喜欢吃Coconut Cake,她的诗”The Things That Can Never Come Back, Are Several”最早就写在一张coconut cake recipe的背面。 又有传言说”ketchup”来自于粤语里面的”茄汁”,这个传言为假,但距离也不远了。 前阵终于把《厨房里的...
評分對語言、歷史和食物有興趣 又有機會在食物的民族大鎔爐中探索 造就這本精彩的研究 說是研究是因為其中有不少數據及語言流變的資訊 多少需要一些閱讀能力(譯者很用心地保留了各語言alphabet的原文 不過每一個篇章都有相當有趣的東西 而且在這個食物流通便捷的世界那些東西也都不...
評分这是一本很有意思的书,介绍的是餐桌文化,一些食物的发源和演化,同时也是文化驱动的内动力所在。书中印象最深的就是亚洲的新奇食物,很能满足欧洲人的味蕾,从而使得欧洲人在那一时期积极地谋求在亚洲的贸易,甚至不惜以战争作为代价,强行撬开亚洲的通商大门。不得不说这个...
評分评分7.8/10 还记得是去年十一月初在muji吃饭看到了台湾版,非常感兴趣,于是顺其自然地就在双十一购入了,但它排到的档期还是比较迟的,基于新年消耗主义作祟还是决定不能囤货,要刷完本书,豆瓣上本书的英文原版→台版→大陆版评分简直是阶梯式下降,但是基于对斯坦福语言学+...
評分书中为了解释食物的流转的变化应用涉及了大量西方文化和外语词汇,如果对西方不是很了解个别的章节会变得特变晦涩难懂,像在第六章中对火鸡名称解释全篇引用了大量的外文我看了几页实在是看不明白。 不过可以看出作者的确是对吃的文化有很深刻的了解前几章对于食物的间接也很让...
